We report the complete mitochondrial genome of Firefly, Abscondita chinensis. The circular genome of 16,309 bp and has a base composition of A (43.63%), C (11.53%), G (8.50%), T (36.31%). Similar to other Metazoa, our sequence contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and a non-coding AT-rich region. We sequenced the mitochondrial genome of fireflies to analyze phylogenetic relationships and deduce the evolution of their flashing signals.
